Configuring DNS Forwarding

This section describes how to configure DNS forwarding if you did not configure your server by using the Setup Wizard. If you used the Setup Wizard, it configured DNS forwarding automatically.

The Domain Name System (DNS) forwarding feature is enabled on BBSM Hotspot to allow DNS requests to be relayed to a remote DNS server. BBSM Hotspot is not configured as a DNS server; it acts as a DNS forwarder for its clients and its own DNS requests. These DNS requests, such as www.cisco.com, are resolved into IP addresses so the Internet routers can locate the web server with the content.

Note You must obtain the IP address for your DNS servers from your ISP before you can perform the following procedure. Refer to the BBSM Hotspot Configuration Requirements Checklist.
